At the height of the Blitz, Charlotte’s in a passionate affair with a Spitfire pilot, fighting fascism in red lipstick and living each day like her last. Eighty years later, Charlotte’s granddaughter Becky is stuck in her hometown, singing old songs at other people’s weddings – dreaming of a better time.

The Winston Machine is the unmissable new show from internationally-renowned Kandinsky. It moves between the 1940s and the 2020s, between the past and its ghosts in the present, to ask: what happens when there’s no war left to fight?

Age guidance / content
The show contains haze effect, strong language, and some sophisticated themes. The age recommendation is 14+ with parental guidance.
The show's themes include warfare and PTSD; adverse childhood, relationship and family experiences; experiences of racism; and mental health issues.

The Winston Machine 2023 tour is produced by Kandinsky in association with New Diorama Theatre, and co-produced by Dartington Trust. It has been supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, and is also made with support from the Thistle Trust, Complicité, New Diorama Theatre, Old Diorama Arts Centre and Theatre Arts at London Metropolitan University, with thanks to the National Theatre. It was originally commissioned and co-produced by the New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2022.
